CAPSTONE PROJECTS

As each student nears graduation, they’re required to take on a final project before finishing their degree. We offer them a choice between writing a Master’s Thesis and completing a Capstone Project.

The Capstone Project is a unique opportunity for students to apply what they’ve learned at IE in a real-world context. For this project, they work in groups of two or three under the supervision of a professional mentor, and collaborate with a private, public or nonprofit organization to devise creative and innovative solutions to specific challenges.
